Christmas 2013 DIY crafts #3

When I first bought these materials, I wasn't sure what to do with them but I think that's the best part about crafting- endless possibilities.  I just sat there the other night and started playing around with my materials and actually ended up making something that I liked. 

FINISHED PRODUCT:


MATERIALS USED:
- a pack of ornaments ( from Dollarama- xs sized)
- ribbons (bought from Michaels)
- Alphabet Stickers (bought from Michaels)
- plain cards (bought from Wal-Mart)

HOW TO MAKE:

Step 1:
- measure out enough ribbon so that it forms a border that is exactly 1 cm from the sides (make sure that the ribbons form an even border before gluing anything down)
- only glue down 3 sides, leaving the top piece of ribbon for Step 3

Step 2:
- select two ornaments from the pack
- cut out 4 cm of ribbon and cut straight down the middle vertically so that you have two thinner pieces of ribbon that are 4 cm in length
- string each of the ribbon through the top of the ornament, respectively
- decide where you want to place them on the card and glue them down

Step 3:
- take the outstanding piece of ribbon from Step 1 and glue it across the top
- make sure that the ribbon from the ornaments are tucked in


Step 4:
- decide what holiday message you like across the front of your card and write it out with the alphabet stickers
- IT'S DONE!
